  Went here for a wedding. There are not many round churches still around. It was a charming piece of yesteryear.

  I first visited this church when I was accompanying a group of seniors on a bus tour with a bit of time to spare before our lunch reservations. We happened to drive by the building and sort of ogled the place longingly--so quaint and interesting. Luckily for us, they were setting up for a wedding. The volunteer docent overseeing that noticed our interest and motioned for us to stop & visit. We did. And it was a wonderful grace note to our adventures of the day. Now, if I'm passing through town I like to stop by if the timing is right and I recommend it to anyone in the area on a visit or living locally. You can step into history!

  The Round Church is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2013. It's an architectural gem that the community has worked hard to preserve. In the winter, it serves as the community sledding hill; in spring, summer, and fall, the building is open to the public, managed by volunteer docents. There's more information, including a schedule of activities, at the Richmond Historical Society website.

  Many times we have ridden past this church going to the interstate to travel to other places, but today we noticed that it was open! There was to be a wedding in the afternoon. In the meantime, a member of the Historical Society told us many things about this fascinating building. Three congregations used it at one time, and then there were town meetings held there. THere is a small organ and melodeon. THe pews are the closed type. We all tried standing in the pulpit. We took some pictures since we don't know when we shall get the opportunity to see this again.

  It was the most unique church I have been into. No heat so you would not want to plan a winter wedding. Very close to the highway for guests but still in the country and small town feel. Great setting.

  The church has a very rustic New England feel to it. It was a perfect spot for our daughters wedding. Great for picture taking and very welcoming for visiters.Very romantic and sweet place for a wedding.

  I saw the notation of a historical place on a AAA map and researched it. We stopped at the Round Church on our way to Stowe, Vermont. The building is open till the second week in October from 10-4pm. We arrived at 10 am and found the most pleasant guide inside. Ironically, he happened to be from the town where I grew up in New York state! (small world). His name was Mr. Batt and he gave us about a 5 minute guide around the round church with stories of the history and unique details of the history. The building itself is something to see. So unique and restored wonderfully. Mr. Batt told us that they had visitors from 48 states and about 15 countries just this past season. It is well worth the stop and a free attraction, although you can make a donation to help the Round Church survive.

  If you like19th century architecture, churches reimagined as concert halls, and historic sites (national historical register), you will enjoy a walk about this lovingly restored and maintained building.

  We also saw this marked on a map and were intrigued so we decided to stop here. We found it open and staffed by a volunteer who showed us around and explained the history of the church. We spent much longer here than expected and took lots of photos inside and out - looks great surrounded by fall foliage.
